    Iraq War vet pens ‘last letter’ to Bush and Cheney

    He signed up. He volunteered. Nobody forced him to join the military. Was he really so naive as to think that he would have the choice of where and how the war would be fought? Sounds to me like a he made a bad decision and now he's looking for someone to blame.

    A new take on global warming

    Those greenhouse gas numbers are true if you assume a static model. However, (according to Allan Savory) if you include the positive effects of land reclamation and reversing desertification, there's a large net positive contribution to reducing global warming when you increase cattle and sheep...

    Anybody on the Zone diet, and taking huge doses of fish oil?

    You may need to experiment. The fact that grains don't make you physically ill doesn't mean that you do well with them. Stop eating grains for a month and see what happens. You may lose weight, have better energy levels, etc. That's what happened to my neighbor. He no longer eats grains. The...

    Anybody on the Zone diet, and taking huge doses of fish oil?

    Genetics. Simple well-proven example: some people do well eating grains, others do very poorly. Grains are poison to me (and my side of the family). My wife and daughters eat them with no problems.

    Anybody on the Zone diet, and taking huge doses of fish oil?

    Actually, both schools can be right. One of the top researchers at Stanford University Medical center told me that some people respond better to a low-carb high-fat diet and others to a high-carb low-fat diet. It may be a result of evolution as humans spread out around the world and adapted...

    Anybody on the Zone diet, and taking huge doses of fish oil?

    I ate vegetables and fruits without restriction and was hungry all the time. I was consuming almost 3000 calories a day. Then I stopped eating fruits. That didn't help either. Even when my stomach was full to the point of feeling nauseous, I was still hungry because metabolic hormones were...

    A new take on global warming

    Before you "take exception" you should read the research supporting his hypothesis. http://www.savoryinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/Savory_Inst_HM_Research_Portfolio_March2013.pdf http://www.savoryinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Science_Methodology_Holistic_Mgt.pdf...

    A new take on global warming

    You should have kept watching to the part where he shows how putting tens of thousands of cattle and sheep on the land will save the planet. That part of the presentation starts at about the half way point. That's the twist. We need more cattle ranches to save the planet. I'm not kidding...

    A new take on global warming

    Instead of the same old broken-record global warming posts we've all seen a million times before, here's a new take on the subject --at least it's new to me. This guy says that at least 50% of global warming is cause by "desertification" of the earth, not from burning fosil fuels. The...

    Anybody on the Zone diet, and taking huge doses of fish oil?

    I was on a strict journal-keeping dietician-supervised vegan diet for over three months. My triglycerides were over 800, and worst of all, I was hungry all the time. I woke up hungry and I went to sleep hungry. I was tired and miserable every waking moment. If I limit myself to 50-70 grams of...

    Anybody on the Zone diet, and taking huge doses of fish oil?

    One of the reasons that it's confusing is that there is no "one-size-fits-all" diet. There are few things that most nutrition scientists seem to agree on: 1. Transfats are bad 2. Processed foods are bad (the more sugar, the worse it is) 3. High Omega-6 relative to Omega-3 fatty acid intake...

    Wow. EU steals 10% of bank deposits in exchange for bailout

    While this tax may hit a few Russian oligarchs, it will harm thousands of innocent people who did nothing wrong. That's bad. Very bad.

    Anybody on the Zone diet, and taking huge doses of fish oil?

    There have recently been over a dozen randomized studies comparing the results of low-carb/high-fat diet vs. high-carb/low-fat vegan diets. The low-carb diets came out ahead on every one. [see list below] The "AtoZ" study at Stanford was run by Dr. Chris Gardner, a twenty-five year...

    It's Time To Move Past Diversity Quotas

    Thomas Sowell: Disparities not always race-based There are so many fallacies about race that it would be hard to say which is the most ridiculous. However, one fallacy behind many other fallacies is the notion that there is something unusual about different races being unequally represented...

    Paul Krugman economics: Deny, deny, deny!

    http://www.cnbc.com/id/100558455 Latvia's Prime Minister hit back on Friday at Paul Krugman's criticism of Latvia's austerity measures, saying the Nobel Prize-winning economist has "difficulty admitting his own mistake." "Krugman famously said back in December 2008 that Latvia is the new...

    Anybody on the Zone diet, and taking huge doses of fish oil?

    I stopped eating grains and all processed foods a couple of years ago. I'm on a diet very similar to what's described in your link. It vastly improved my health.

    Korean war II, new permawar?

    My cousin, who's in the Air Force, says the following about North Korea's Military: 1. The N.K. army is large (over 1 million), but most of the troops are very poorly trained, poorly fed and poorly led. Their elite forces number about 50,000 and they would do most of the real fighting. Most...
